IMPROVEM ENT IN CIGARETTE-MACHINES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 52.001, dated'January9, 1866. I

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, LEOPOLD KRAUS, of Miskolcz, in Hungary, andALEXANDER SZIGETHY, of the city of Kaschau, in Hungary, at presentresiding in New York city, State of New York, have invented a new andImproved Cigarette-Machine; and we do hereby declare that the followingis a full and exact description of the construction and operation of thesame, reference being bad to the annexed drawings, making a part of thisspecification, in which- Figure I represents a longitudinal section ofthe machine in a position ready to make a cigarette, and Fig. II showsan outside view of the same, either when not in use or when thecigarette is attached ready for smoking.

A represents a tube, provided at its end with a suitable month-piece, B,constructed in the usual manner. On the other end of this tube A a smallpiece of tubing, w, is attached, by means of a pin, a, (see Fig. II,) insuch a manner another tube, 0, can pass between said tubingw and thetube A. This tubing 0 is made with a slot or opening, D, (shown indotted lines in Fig. 1,) running longitudinally nearly its whole length.On the outside of the tube w another small piece of tubing, to, isarranged, provided with a diagonal or spiral slot, 4;, in which the pina works. By this fixed pin a working in the diagonal or spiral slot 22the tubing 20, when turned around in one direction, will be made to movebackward, so as to leave a part of the tube as uncovered, as representedin Fig. I, and when turned in the opposite direction will be movedforward and over the end of the tube as.

as far as possible, as represented in Fig. I..

The tobacco is then filled into the tube 0 and stopped tight through theslot D, made in said tube, until the whole tube is filled. Suitablepaper is then wound around the projecting end of the tube ac, when thetube w is turned in the opposite direction, so as to move over the endof the paper and the end of the tube ac, holding thereby the end of thepaper perfectly v tight between itself and the tube :0. The tube 0 isthen drawn back again, when the end of the tube A will act as a pistonin said tube 0, forcing the tobacco out of said tube 0, leaving it inthe paper cover, when the cigarette is finished, attached to the end ofthe tube A and ready to be lighted and smoked. When the cigarette issmoked out the tube w is turned around again in the opposite direction,when the end of the paper can be taken off, and is then ready to makeanother cigarette.

What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-- The combination of the tubes 0, w, and to with the tube andmouth-pieceA and B, when constructed and arranged in the manner and forthe purpose substantially as described.
